Tucker Carlson on Fox News recently provided a six minute segment titled The Church of Environmentalism (here), which brings to light a contradiction so incremental that it may have escaped the notice of many.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano later agreed with Carlson issuing a letter and video to select media in which he writes, “the American Constitution prohibits any state religion, but for some time the governing Democratic party has imposed on the American people the globalist cult, with its green agenda, its woke dogmas, its condemnations and cancel culture, its priests of the World Health Organization, the prophets of the World Economic Forum. A religion in all respects, all-encompassing not only for the life of the individuals who practice it, but also in the life of the nation that publicly confesses it, adapts laws and sentences to it, and inspires education and every governmental action around it.

“In the name of the globalist religion, its adherents demand that all citizens behave in accordance with the morality of the New World Order, accepting uncritically – and with an attitude of devout submission to religious authority – the doctrine defined ex cathedra by the Davos Sanhedrin…,” Archbishop Vigano continued.

“…For too long citizens and faithful have passively suffered the decisions of their political and religious leaders in the face of the evidence of their betrayal. Respect for authority is based on the recognition of a “theological” fact, that is, of the Lordship of Jesus Christ over individuals, nations, and the Church. If those in authority in the State and Church act against the citizens and the faithful, their power is usurped and their authority null and void. Let us not forget that rulers are not the owners of the State and the masters of the citizens, just as the Pope and the Bishops are not the owners of the Church and the masters of the faithful. If they do not want to be like fathers to us; if they do not want our good and indeed do everything to corrupt us in body and spirit, it is time to drive them out of their positions and call them to account for their betrayal, their crimes, and their scandalous lies.

The full text by Archbishop Vigano is available at the end of this post. If your Pastor, Priest, Minister, Rabi or Imam has not spoken on this perspective, please send this post for their consideration.

For those that are not believers in any faith, please consider psychology.

Hannah Arendt in “The Origins of Totalitarianism“ wrote, “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exists.” He further writes that the “under-current of totalitarianism [is] a naive belief that a flawless, humanoid being and a utopian society can be produced from scientific knowledge.”

In “The Psychology of Totalitarianism” Mattias Desmet notes, “Mechanistic ideology always lives on credit! In the future, once perfect knowledge has been achieved and perfect technology has been mastered, it will translocate the man-machine into paradise. Yet for now, it mainly makes people sick and depressed.” (emphasis added)

The OK House of Representatives has approved a two-part plan by Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, to provide a $500 million investment to public education and create the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act.

House Bill 2775 includes a $500 million increase in funding for public schools throughout the state that will fund $2,500 minimum pay raises for every teacher not designated as an administrator; $50 million to be distributed to schools receiving below-average funding from annual local tax revenue; and $300 million to be distributed to public school districts on a per-pupil basis.

HB2775 outlines how the appropriated monies can be spent, including on teacher and support staff raises, STEM programs, instructional materials, fees for nationally standardized assessments, summer education programs, after-school programs, student support services, or tuition and fees for concurrent enrollment. It passed 78-20.

House Bill 1935 creates the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act, which would allow a $5,000 annual tax credit for parents of eligible students that attend private schools and a $2,500 credit for students educated by other means. The bill includes a provision allowing parents to request an advance on the tax credit to help pay for the upcoming semester. HB1935 passed 75-25.

“Delivering the best education possible to our children is one of the most important services we can provide as a state,” McCall said. “Investing in our kids is investing in the future. This plan works for every student, every parent and every teacher in every school.”

Both bills were presented on the floor by House Education Committee Chair Rep. Rhonda Baker, R-Yukon.

“Today’s actions will give children the brighter future they deserve and ensure students can find the schools best suited for them,” Baker said. “It also adds to already record-high funding amounts going to our public school classrooms and to the teachers that play such a vital role in a student’s success. Our students, parents and teachers deserve the best.”

Molding, controlling, and capturing your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are the objectives.

Editor’s Note: This speech first published on Substack at this link and that location online features video from the Pandemic Strategies Conference in Stockholm, Sweden on January 21, 2023. This is the text transcript. It is a message critical for the heart of America and speaks directly of our future. It is long, but worthy.

What I want to talk about is some sensitive stuff, some strong language. And I understand that here in Sweden, these words might seem very strong to some, but this is the name of this technology. I didn’t invent this name. This is the technology that’s been deployed on you over the last three years, and all of us. And at the start, I also want to give a shout-out for your nation and for your public health leadership.

Really, to the rest of the world, what happened here was unique. There was more of a willingness, even though nothing’s perfect, to stay grounded in public health policy, sound public health policy, avoid a lot of the extreme measures that have been propagated throughout the Western world. And it’s so easy for us to focus on the bad, but I just want to give a moment and acknowledge the good that’s happened here. The rest of the world has benefited from the courage of those that have stood up and advocated for public health policies that did not include a lot of these harsh measures for our children. And I think because of that courage, the world has had a comparator to show that we really didn’t have to have a lot of these egregiously harsh policies that have been deployed on all of us.

The COVID crisis has revealed a modern battleground in which molding, controlling, and capturing your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are the objective. I’m going to speak about fifth-generation warfare. This is not a term that I invented. Fifth-generation warfare is the new battleground, and it has been deployed by military largely in intelligence communities on the entire Western world in an amazingly harmonized fashion during the COVID crisis.

Fifth-generation warfare is a war of information and perception. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. The basic idea is that in the modern era, wars are not fought by armies or guerillas, but in the minds of common citizens.

Your mind is the new battleground. This is not hyperbole. This is standard military strategy. And unfortunately, the United States has led in the West in our response. The European Union has largely followed American “leadership”. And in America, the management of this crisis was not primarily driven, the data now show, the documents show, was not driven by health and human services. It was driven by the US Department of Defense and basically the National Security State, Homeland Security domestically, our intelligence community, Department of Defense, the National Security Administration. That’s how it came into the White House, and that’s how it got delegated and managed.

And as often happens, I like to say, when you give a three-year-old a hammer, everything becomes a nail, and we have this new powerful technology that’s been developed and deployed offshore for resisting fourth-generation warfare, which is the insurgencies. The United States has lost essentially every single insurgent war since Vietnam that it’s engaged in. And it has now tried to transform that battlefield metaphor into what we now call fifth-generation warfare. And as they’ve developed those tools for offshore in information management and PSYOPs, for whatever reason, they determined that it was appropriate to deploy it on their own citizens in the context of what they determined was a national health emergency, which they responded to as if it was a national security emergency.

So my goal here is to help you to understand this new environment, the technology that was deployed, and eventually to get to the point that I want to make, which is that those of us that are awake, and I hope that this lecture will help awaken you even more, those of us that are awake can become empowered by understanding this technology and employing it for our side, for the sake of truth, honesty, for spreading the type of information that Asim just shared with you. We’re in a new information ecosystem. It’s a new technology space. And for protest movements, the methods that were employed during the 20th century, centralized leadership, protest movements, is now completely obsolete. We have to come, if we’re going to win this, and I’m sure most of this audience, audience appreciates that the COVID crisis is just a skirmish. The battle is much, much larger than what we’re just talking about here.

And if we’re going to win this battle, we have to understand the battleground. We have to understand their playing field. We have to understand their technology, their strategies, their tactics. We need to assimilate them and we need to respond to them, not by as assimilating their ethics, but by deploying technology that’s appropriate for this new battle space. Okay? That’s where I’m coming from.

Precursors to fifth-generation warfare. The first accidental fifth-generation conflict was Arab Spring. Many people may not appreciate that Arab Spring was employed by the US government to test deploy some of their new technologies for manipulating thought, behavior, and action. Those key technologies we call social media. Twitter was intentionally deployed during Arab Spring. Twitter is a weapon. It is not a business. Facebook is used as a weapon. It has intrinsic capabilities. When you think to yourself, “I’ve been shadow banned,” that language is kind of irrelevant. You’re personalizing it. These tools are used to shape the information landscape, the cloud of information, your contacts, who’s talking to who, what they’re allowed to say, how they’re allowed to say it with specific intentions to shape the direction of thought and emotion.

There are tools embedded within that in the analytics that extract emotional content out of every single thing you tweet, and derive from that understandings of what your emotional, personal emotional landscape is and allows that to be manipulated by what you are then exposed to, what your eyes see. Okay? These are weapons. Understand that.

In the case of Arab Spring, it was almost fifth-generational warfare, except it lacked a couple of the key elements. We actually knew who the antagonists were. In true fifth-generation warfare, you do not know who your opponent is. Example, who is responsible for… Who’s the puppet master behind the COVID crisis as we’ve experienced it? Who is it? Anybody here know? Was it Klaus? No. There’s something above Klaus. Was it Biden? Was it Tony Fauci? These are all surrogates. Okay? You don’t really know who is managing the message that has been propagated on you. That’s fifth-generation warfare.

Over the last three years, Western governments, non-governmental organizations, transnational organizations, pharmaceutical industry corporations, media and financial corporations have cooperated via public-private partnerships, which I assert is a euphemism for fascism, to deploy the most massive globally harmonized, psychological, and propaganda operation in the history of the world. Over the last three years, you have been subjected to the most massive harmonized, globally coordinated propaganda campaign in the history of the Western world, full stop.

My mouth is getting dry talking about these things. I do feel a little passionate. With this campaign, the governments of many Western nation states have turned, okay, this is key, military-grade, psychological operations, strategies, tactics, technologies, and capabilities developed for modern military combat against their own citizens. These are inconvenient facts. The world that many of us believed existed no longer exists if it ever did.

For me, the stunning bookend is this recent revelation on Tucker Carlson that the first thing that I remember as a young person born in 1959, the assassination of John F. Kennedy was probably propagated in significant part by the United States Intelligence Community. Okay? And we have been lied to about that my whole life.

Welcome to 5th Generation Warfare. The battlefield is your mind. There are weapons. This has been anticipated. We’ve had a series of writings, and I hesitate to include our own book at the end, I in no way imply that it is of equal to 1984 and Brave New World, or the work of Hannah Arendt and Mattias Desmet. It’s a continuation in that theme is my point.

Before 4th and 5th generation warfare, modern warfare between states was a duel on larger scale, a continuation of politics by other means with core elements of rationality of the state probability in military command and rage of the population, Clausewitz. Okay? The only thing that remains there is the rage of the population.

Rational state actors. We’re in an environment in which the nation’s state is treated as an obsolete entity. We have a new vague cloud of globalist leadership that we can’t even put our fingers on. We don’t really know who’s driving it. Probability in military command, we have an environment in which the military command is confused, it’s diffuse, and the battleground is constantly shifting. And today, the very nature of 5th generation warfare is that it’s difficult to define. As Clark says, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and that is the 5th gen warfare battlefield.”

Now, here’s the flow of the talk. The thesis is that western nations have globally deployed military grade Psy-Ops on their citizens during the COVID crisis, and my intention is to convince you of that and to help you to comprehend the inner meaning of that, and then to help you to see how that can be turned to your advantage. We’re going to have evidence, a definition of common terms. This is such a bizarre psychological landscape that it’s difficult to even process. We have to have language. We have to have common language and understanding to even be able to comprehend what’s been done to us,

 What is meant by military grade Psy-Ops or 5th generation warfare? I’m going to give you a video example from the US military Psy-Ops so that you have a comprehension of what is being deployed globally. What are 5th generation warfare strategies and tactics that are relevant to the COVID crisis? Somebody made a joke about our book, “The lies my government told me is nowhere near long enough. It needs to be the size of an encyclopedia.” Likewise, strategies and tactics for 5th gen warfare, I’m just going to give you some examples,

Observations regarding organization and leadership in this new battleground. And choosing between being a victim and a warrior. Okay, we do not have to be victims.

One of this gradients or generations of warfare, the concept of generation is really not accurate. This is a blend of gradients. In 1st generation warfare. We have the ancient battles of Europe, historically bows and arrows and swords. That was made obsolete by muskets. Then we had organized battle, battle lines, even trench warfare in 2nd gen. Then we moved to organized battle with gunpowder, and that was made obsolete by the German Blitzkrieg. Then we had mechanized warfare focused on speed and maneuverability, the German strategy that allowed them to be so dominant early in World War II.

What made that obsolete? I mean, that’s what was deployed with the shock and awe campaigns in the United States against Saddam Hussein, among others. That was one of the last major tank battles. And we’re still seeing some of that, for instance, going on in Ukraine right now. But that was made obsolete by terrorism, this new technology for asymmetric warfare that has beaten the United States every single time. That is 4th generation warfare. That is a mixture of kinetic and Psy-Ops, of information warfare and kinetic warfare, and it is still fighting over territory, control of territory in 4th gen.

The internet has changed everything, as we all know. Now, we’re in a battle space where the battleground is literally your mind. It is what you think, it is what you feel. It is what motivates you. That can all be manipulated, and is manipulated on a daily basis. You experience it, of course, historically through, what we call in the States, Madison Avenue, advertising technology. Asim was talking about processed foods. This is taking the psychological basis for advertising and manipulation of behavior and thought, and weaponizing it against all of us, in an industrial way using this amazing information distribution platform. What’s going to displace this? Who knows? But right now, that’s what we’re in.

The composition of warfare is changing. The traditional methods of waging war are evolving. Conventional techniques are in decline. Opportunities to use kinetic weapons have become highly restricted. This is why this has to happen. We’re seeing it in Ukraine, but for the rest of the world, people are not at liberty to go ahead and engage in armed warfare in the traditional way. They’ve had to seek newer tactics and tools, such as information warfare, asymmetric warfare, media propaganda warfare, hybrid warfare. That’s the new environment we’re in. And the traditional clear divisions between combatant and non-combatant, and between war time and peace time, have become gradients. We are all both combatants and non-combatants. Everything, the entire landscape, has become a battleground. All nation states, everything.

When seeking to understand what this means, you’re forced to enter this bizarre, shifting, surreal, psychological terrain. To understand it, you must temporarily suspend and restructure what you thought you knew about truth, ethics, media, information, social organization, business, government, and the military. In this total warfare landscape, there are no ethics. When Asim talks about what we’ve been subjected to, all of us have been subjected to, Ryan Cole has been subjected to, there are no ethics. There are no ethical boundaries to what they will do. It is all about the utilitarian means justify the ends.

And for many of us, it’s shocking. You cannot conceive of the world in which there are no ethical boundaries. You can’t conceive of warfare in which there’s no guardrails. There’s no consensus about the rules of engagement, but that’s what we’re in right now. You have to completely park any idea of justice, right and wrong. All that is obsolete in this battlefield environment.

As you step into this hellscape, set aside obsolete notions of fairness and rules. This is total unrestricted information warfare, and you’ve been subjected to it for the last three years. 20th century organizational norms and social activism methods based on centralized leadership have become outdated and obsolete. Get rid of them. That’s how we lose. We are in a war of information and perception, which targets your cognitive biases, the cognitive biases of individuals and organizations. That is the target. To transform those cognitive biases in ways that are in the interests of the opponent, who in ideal 5th generation warfare, you never even know who they are.

To create new cognitive biases and propagate it out into the population without their being aware that it’s being done to them. This is completely different from classical warfare. It focuses on the individual observer and decision makers. It’s difficult or impossible to attribute. It is truly leaderless and decentralized, which makes it incredibly powerful because no one could be taken out. The nature of the attack is completely concealed. You never see it coming.

What are the characteristics? Ambiguity of the opposing force. I’ve said this. Ambiguity of the attack vector. You don’t know what’s being done to you and how it’s being done. Dopamine loops. These are the hits that you get on social media. Click, click, click. Oh, they like that. Oh, they didn’t like that. Oh, look how popular I am. Dopamine loops.

Triggering existing cognitive biases in the targets. By choosing words that trigger you in a positive and negative way is how you are manipulated and influenced, how your thinking is shaped. I mentioned Arab Spring before. This was solidified. It was the power of this technology in this approach was clearly demonstrated during the 2016 US election, and now the lessons from that have been deployed worldwide.

The 2021 Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the first example of 5GW in kinetic battle. Don’t get the idea that that information 5th generation warfare exists in isolation. It is a continuance of spectrum. You can still have kinetic activities. You still have all the other portfolio, but this is a different battlefield landscape in the extreme.

An example of pure 5th generation warfare is Havana Syndrome. Do you remember the people in the embassy in the United States suddenly had these psychological effects, these headaches, nobody knew where they came from. Nobody knew how it was happening. The State Department denies that it even happens. Nobody knows who did it. This is an example of a perfect 5th Gen.

So… Who did do it? This is an example of a perfect fifth generation warfare weapon. Now, I’m going to talk just a moment about sovereignty and what this means. What is sovereignty? Supreme power over a body. Politic sovereignty is what the African states invoked to resist the international health regulations that were being propagated on them last year. Thank God for Africa and Brazil.

Sovereignty is freedom from external control. Freedom from controlling influence. Okay, now let’s think about sovereignty. We talk about sovereign autonomous nation states. Those are treated as obsolete now. The World Economic Forum does not recognize that as the future of human organization. They want a globalist, unelected, centralized command economy, fourth industrial revolution, transhumanism world, and we’ve all seen that movie. If the unlimited warfare battleground is for control of your mind, thoughts and emotions and all r

The patented Fast Cast Bridge® is a cost-effective and efficient solution for municipalities

The City of Claremore is partnering with Premier Steel Services to install a new 30-foot bridge on Lowry Road, utilizing the company’s innovative Fast Cast Bridge® system. The installation will take place today. The entire process, from grading to clean up, will take only a few days and installation will happen in a matter of hours.

The bridge will replace three deteriorated metal pipe culverts and offer a long-term solution to flooding experienced in the area, even during a moderate rainfall. In addition, the new infrastructure will ensure safe access between State Highway 66 and Highway 88 for emergency vehicles, school bus routes, residential travel and utilized by the nearby industrial park. 

“The bridge installation is part of an ongoing project for Lowry Road,” said Claremore City Manager John Feary. “Additionally, utilizing this innovative method will significantly reduce the time needed for road closures, limiting disruptions for area residents and businesses.” 

Designed and manufactured in Northeast Oklahoma, the Fast Cast Bridge® utilizes a composite steel structure designed to last for decades, allowing for cost-effective installation and maintenance.  

“Lowry Road is a vital artery for the Claremore Industrial Park, traveled by employees, suppliers and millions of dollars in product each year,” said Meggie-Froman-Knight, Executive Director for the Claremore Industrial and Economic Development Authority. “Quality and reliable infrastructure are crucial for ensuring our area business success and limiting business disruptions not only in our park but for other organizations across the globe who depend on the products created right here in Claremore.” 

This is the first Fast Cast Bridge® project in Claremore and is one over 20 across the country. The innovative technology received a United States Patent in May 2022. 

“As a lifelong resident of Claremore, I’m especially excited to part of an infrastructure solution in my hometown,” said Andy Vanaman, president of Premier Steel. “Our bridges are state-of-the-art and not only allow for quicker construction time, but are also a cost-effective alternative for road and pedestrian bridges.”Members of the media are invited to join and experience the bridge installation process and a time-lapse video will be available following the installation. 

The Fast Cast Bridge® utilizes a composite steel structure that is designed and manufactured at Premier Steel’s Glenpool facility and filled with concrete during installation.  The bridge takes only one day to install, and the entire process, including site preparation, excavation and cleanup, takes a week or less.  The quick installation is minimally invasive to the surrounding area, and provides a cost-effective solution for tribes, counties and municipalities to repair failing infrastructure.

Based in Glenpool, Okla., Premier Steel is a full-service structural steel and fabrication provider that produces quality structures on time and within budget.  More information on the Fast Cast Bridge can be found by clicking here.

The OK Senate Aeronautics and Transportation Committee unanimously approved Senate Bill 953 by Sen. Chris Kidd, R-Waurika, to honor the life and extraordinary career of Oklahoma son and Navy veteran, Delbert D. Black. The measure will designate the seven-mile section of I-35 beginning on the south side of the State Highway 32 interchange north to the Oswalt Road interchange in Love County as the “First MCPON Delbert D. Black, U.S. Navy, Memorial Highway.”    

Born in Orr, OK in 1922, Black enlisted in the Navy in March 1941 and after completing his recruit training in San Diego, California, he was assigned to the USS Maryland (BB 46) and was aboard during Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

On Jan. 13, 1967, the Secretary of the Navy announced that Master Chief Black was selected as the first Senior Enlisted Advisor of the Navy. The title was officially changed to Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) a few months later. Black was the highest-ranking enlisted sailor in the U.S. Navy, serving as the enlisted liaison to the Chief of Naval Operations. 

“First MCPON Black had an incredible military career that deserves to be honored and forever remembered, which is why we want to name this stretch of highway near his birth place in his memory,” Kidd said. “What an incredible example for our youth—a boy from the small community of Orr, Oklahoma, through hard work and dedication became the highest-ranking enlisted member in the U.S. Navy and will forever be a part of our state and nation’s history.”

MCPON Black retired from active duty in April 1971 but continued his involvement with the Navy as an active member of the USO Council of Central Florida; the Fleet Reserve Association; and co-chairman on the Secretary of Navy Committee on Retired Personnel.

As MCPON, he focused on problems associated with enlisted guidance, leadership, and policy. Black was the first Navy enlisted man to receive the Navy Distinguished Service Medal for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service as MCPON. He passed away in March 2000 and was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. 

After a decade of MCPONs advocating to honor him, the Navy also named a combatant ship in his honor, the USS Delbert D. Black (DDG-119), which was launched on Sept. 8, 2017, and commissioned on Sept. 26, 2020.

Secretary of the Navy Kenneth Braithwaite observed: “Commissioning a ship after the first Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy is an honor without equal. The Navy has always been and will always be indelibly influenced by the leadership of our senior enlisted sailors epitomized by Delbert Black.” Built at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss., USS Delbert D. Black will be homeported at Mayport, Fla. In recognition of the Navy’s first MCPON, Retired Master Chief Jim Leuci wrote a short overview of MCPON Black’s path-breaking tenure in “Thursday Tidings” click here for more at Navy History.org.

SB 953 will next be considered by the full Senate.

Former Commissioner of OK Dept. of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to Lead Coalition with Governor Frank Keating.

Citing her expertise in the field, former Governor Frank Keating welcomed Terri White as co-chair of Protect Our Kids NO 820 today.  “Having served in both Democrat and Republican administrations, Terri White knows substance abuse shows no partisan allegiance,” Keating stated. 

“I can think of nobody in Oklahoma who knows more about this issue or who has done more to help prevent, treat and defeat the scourge of addiction in our state than Terri White.  I am honored to work with her,” Keating stated.

White served as Commissioner of ODMHSAS for more than 12 years and as Secretary of Health during the Brad Henry administration. Since leaving ODHMHSAS in 2020, White has been the CEO of the nonprofit Mental Health Association Oklahoma through which approximately 30,000 Oklahoma a year receive life-saving services when they need it the most.

White has been a longtime advocate for strong brain health. Her opposition to 820 is based in science. Marijuana, particularly the high content THC marijuana of today, has health risks for all brains – particularly developing brains in youth and young adults and those vulnerable to addiction. “Oklahoma already has high rates of mental health and substance use issues and the door to get into treatment is too narrow. We cannot in good conscience exacerbate this problem; we must protect our youth and young adults,” White said.

The science is clear that high content THC marijuana has been associated with an increase in suicidal ideation, the onset of psychosis, and the activation of addiction circuitry especially in brains under the age of 25 where the prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed.  “To present this state question as anything other than what its biggest consequence will be – causing increased mental health and substance use issues among our most vulnerable Oklahomans – ignores decades of research and scientific evidence and is disingenuous at best,” White said.  There is a reason big tobacco companies are rushing to join big out-of-state marijuana companies in campaigns to legalize marijuana – they know that addiction breeds addiction and fuels all their profit margins.

White asserts that marijuana use and cannabis use disorder are healthcare issues and should be treated as such. Individuals should not end up in the back of police cars, the inside of a jail or a prison cell, but rather in treatment. White adamantly supports decriminalization while opposing legalization.

“Prevention science has shown clearly over the years that every time you legalize a substance, access to that substance increases for ALL ages. Period. As access increases so do the negative consequences and this state question offers little to no remedy or protections for all the harm it will cause,” White said.

On March 7, Oklahomans will decide whether or not to expand access to marijuana when they vote on State Question 820, an initiative petition largely funded by the ACLU and their affiliated entities. 

Protect Our Kids NO 820 is a broad-based coalition of Oklahomans including organizations such as Oklahoma Farm Bureau, The State Chamber of Oklahoma, The Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association, The Oklahoma Chiefs of Police, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, Oklahoma District Attorneys’ Association, Oklahoma Faith Leaders, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, and others.

“We must course correct as economic security is key to our national security”

Rep. Josh Brecheen (R, OK Dist. 2) issued the following statement after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its Budget and Economic Outlook report for FY2023 to FY2033.

“These numbers are a siren, warning the American people to get our fiscal house in order,” said Rep. Brecheen.

“The CBO is projecting that our national debt will increase by an additional $22 trillion over the next 10 years with average annual deficits expected to be $2 trillion. At our current trajectory, we will be spending almost $3 trillion above what we bring in revenue at the end of this 10-year window and our annual interest payments on the debt will exceed total spending on national defense. We must course correct as economic security is key to our national security,” Rep. Brecheen said.

Key Facts from the Report:

• FY 2023 Deficit: This year’s deficit is projected to be $1.4 trillion, making it the fourth highest figure in American history. The FY 2023 deficit is equivalent to 5.4 percent of GDP, well above the 50-year average of 3.6 percent.

• Interest Rates: The true cost increase for interest payments on the debt will be $183 billion above the prior year and will continue to grow at an alarming pace. Almost one-fifth of a trillion dollars will be lost to annual interest payment increases spurred on by inflationary consequences. The projected interest rate on 10-year Treasury notes for 2023 has increased from 1.5 percent when President Biden took office to 3.9 percent in CBO’s latest projection, compared to 3.0 percent in 2022. The 10-year average interest rate projection is 3.8 percent.

• Deficit Projections: Our annual deficits will double within ten years. The annual deficit projection will be $2.9 trillion (7.3 percent of GDP) in 2033.

• Debt Projections: Gross federal debt is projected to increase from $30.8 trillion (123.3 percent of GDP) in 2022 to $52.0 trillion (132.3 percent of GDP) in 2033.

• Spending Projections: Annual spending is projected to be $6.2 trillion (23.7 percent of GDP) in 2023. Annual spending is projected to grow to $9.9 trillion (25.3 percent of GDP) in 2033. Over the 2024-2033 period, spending is projected to total $80.0 trillion.

• Mandatory Spending: Projected to increase from $3.8 trillion (14.6 percent of GDP) in 2023 to $6.1 trillion (15.6 percent of GDP) in 2033. Over ten years, mandatory spending is projected to amount to $48.2 trillion.

Tom Jefferson, senior associate tutor at the University of Oxford, is the lead author of a recent Cochrane review that has ‘gone viral’ on social media and re-ignited one of the most divisive debates during the pandemic – face masks.

The updated review titled “Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of acute respiratory viruses” found that wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to influenza-like or covid-19-like illness transmission.

From the off-and-on directions of the CDC’s bureaucrat propagandists (sponsored by Big Pharma) and petty tyrants of health departments worldwide, some voices of critical thinking questioned masks and economic lockdown devastation throughout include Alex Berenson with his pamphlet, “Unreported Truths about COVID-19 and Lockdowns, Part 3: Masks” among other work.

The most credible of these is Robert W Malone MD, MS inventor of mRNA and DNA vaccines and RNA as a drug. Scientist, physician, writer, podcaster, commentator and advocate. Malone is a believer in our fundamental freedom of free speech, fearless in opposition of idiocy, wise and gracious in crediting others for quality work. To that point, he recently featured an interview by Maryanne Demasi, PhD of Jefferson on the Cochrane study. In that interview, Jefferson said, “There is just no evidence that they (masks) make any difference. Full stop. My job, our job as a review team, was to look at the evidence, we have done that.”

Malone summarizes, “The Cochrane’s lead author believes that the activists are running the show, and that science and scientists have been pushed aside. More first hand evidence that we are in information warfare, and public health has been weaponized against us.”

Demasi in her introduction notes, “Jefferson and his colleagues also looked at the evidence for social distancing, hand washing, and sanitizing/sterilizing surfaces — in total, 78 randomized trials with over 610,000 participants.

“Jefferson doesn’t grant many interviews with journalists — he doesn’t trust the media. But since we worked together at Cochrane a few years ago, he decided to let his guard down with me.

“During our conversation, Jefferson didn’t hold back. He condemned the pandemic’s “overnight experts”, he criticized the multitude of scientifically baseless health policies, and even opened up about his disappointment in Cochrane’s handling of the review.” Click here for the full interview.

Now that the science is tested and confirmed, will Tulsa refund to small business the costs of the idiotic panic? Do those abruptly unemployed or driven bankrupt by factually failed government policy locally file lawsuits against Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum? He claimed to be in charge of health safety for a million people (significantly larger than the city’s population). If government’s job is to eliminate risk in life, are they not responsible then for their policies?

Any government employees fired during COVID? Any official departments suffer reduced budgets? Bynum, our local Political Poiendexter (person with intellectual pretensions), absent wisdom, but full of self-assumed authority has failed to offer relief for his policies. COVID didn’t bother Bynum. His minions are still wearing masks in Tulsa.

Editor’s Note: From the beginning of COVID (funded by U.S. Taxpayers, created by China’s Military, and greatly loved by the World Economic Forum that seeks to rule us all); Tulsa Today has published warnings contrary to public health narratives and is the only local media to do so. Near 50 stories each from Elizabeth Lee Vliet MD and Jane M. Orient, M.D. were featured here. Both are hailed on the “Heroic Healers Honor Roll” in the book “The Real Anthony Fauci” by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. You can search each author’s name utilizing the Tulsa Today search feature (top right on each page) or search COVID for those and other stories.

Dear reader, we should have done more. We should have organized protests on the streets. The more science proves how wrong public health pontification was and is today; the more people are coming to believe humanity deserves a worldwide Nuremberg style trial on COVID Collusion(s).

Intelligent.com, a resource for online degree rankings and higher education planning, has published a survey that examines the practice of eliminating degree requirements on job postings and the rationale behind it. The report explores the value of experience versus education when evaluating candidates. Researchers collected feedback from 1,000 hiring managers across the United States.

According to survey results, 53 percent of hiring managers say their company eliminated the bachelor’s degree requirement for certain roles in the past year. Among this group, 60 percent say they removed the prerequisite for entry-level positions, 57 percent say mid-level positions, and 33 percent say senior-level positions. With regards to the top reasons for eliminating the bachelor’s degree requirement, 64 percent of respondents say they wanted to increase the number of applicants, 59 percent say they believe there are other ways to acquire skills besides a 4-year degree, and 58 percent say they sought to create a more diverse workforce.

Currently, 76 percent of hiring managers believe their company is ‘very likely’ or ‘likely’ to favor experience over education. However, many companies still recognize the value of education, with 72 percent of hiring managers admitting that having a bachelor’s degree is ‘very valuable’ or ‘valuable’ when evaluating candidates. Conversely, other degree or certification types are not considered as valuable, with only 24 percent of respondents seeing value in certificate programs, 23 percent in associate degrees, 16 percent in online degrees, and 8 percent in boot camps. Additionally, 66 percent of companies require candidates to take an assessment to test hard skills, while 64% have applicants complete a test assignment.

All data found within this release derives from a survey commissioned by Intelligent.com and conducted online by survey platform Pollfish on January 26, 2023. In total, 1,000 hiring managers in the United States were surveyed. Appropriate respondents were found through demographic criteria and screening questions.

President Donald Trump in June of 2020 signed an order overhauling federal hiring to focus on skills over college degrees. The New York Post reported at the time, “At a signing ceremony at the White House, the president and other administration officials said the order would create a more merit-based system and opportunities for Americans who had previously been excluded from the workforce.

The order will direct federal agencies to shift to skills- and competency-based hiring rather than degree-based hiring which “excludes capable candidates and undermines labor-market efficiencies,” the order read.

Trump praised his daughter, senior advisor and policy board co-chair Ivanka Trump for leading the charge on the hiring edict. “This will allow us to better recognize the talents and competencies of all Americans we hire,” the First Daughter said, calling on the private sector to follow suit.

We now see that the private sector did exactly that.

November 17, 2022, Battle is Brewing in Bartlesville: Drag Queens, Adult Sexuality, Children and Public Spaces

The “Battle is Brewing” story was highlighted by Tulsa Today, November 21, 2022 here and which points to connections with OKEQ located in Tulsa. Alternative and standard lifestyles need to talk.

As Conservatives, few care what others may do in their private life, but most draw the line on public performance and in front of children (see Gays Against Groomers). The battle may be in Bartlesville today, but it is headed your way, rural Oklahoma. What is your community standard of public decency? Will Oklahoma Church Leaders rally or cower? We have seen Religious Social Justice become Bible-less Woke-Worship absent The Word or The Way. What say you Oklahoma?

As another outstanding writer on Substack, Dr. Robert W. Malone recently said, “The Overton Window, the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time is known as the window of discourse. Fifth generation information/warfare methods seek to actively manipulate the Overton Window to constrain what we are allowed to talk about. That’s when you talk about gaslighting and these various techniques, the manipulation in the media, the redefinition of language that’s used. Vaccination is no longer vaccination, and anti-vaxxer is anybody who is against band-aids. This is active manipulation of the Overton Window, that’s how it’s done.”

It is an individual and local choice, Oklahoma.
